Translation by FRAME from the Vietnamese text on the poster, literal and machine-assisted, not checked by a fluent reader; the claims are the poster's own and FRAME has not checked them against other records. Diacritics are transcribed as printed to the best of legibility at this image resolution. The bridge line is read as 'new reinforced-concrete bridges: 52'; the image shows 'BẮC MỚI BẰNG CIMENT / CỐT SẮT: 52 CÁI', where 'BẮC' is printed for 'cầu' or 'bắc', so the exact word is uncertain.
